  1. Roland TrueVis VG2-640 Issues

    I am looking for any information that people can give me on issues with the TrueVis VG2-640. We have contacted our sales person, Roland also knows that there is issues, however it seems like they are just brushing the problem off. We are trying to build a case that there is issues with the...
  2. Need Help Print Head or Alignment Issue? HP L25500

    I refuse to give up on my printer. I really can't afford a new one at this time. I previously posted my issues with my print head. I figured it was my expired ink... Switched them all out for new. Since then, my pink colors are coming in vibrant. Zero complaints. I just can't catch a break with...
  3. Need Help Horizontal Issues HP l25500

    I'm a newbie to the printing world. I purchased an HP l25500 to give us a feel as to if we should commit to having a wide format printer. The machine works fine but for some reason I'm getting horizontal banding on my prints. I did a few print head cleanings, and it has helped but I think I...
  4. Need Help Mimaki JV300 Printing Consistent Band of Colors in Margin Issue

    I am having a consistent issue with my Mimaki printing excess bands of color on the outside margins and “shadowing” my artwork like in the attached picture.

  7. Mutoh ValueJet 1624 roller marks

    I have been experiencing what appears to be roller marks on adhesive vinyl 2611. I am printing a solid dark red color and the marks are intermittent but always in the same location as the printer advances forward. I have tried lowering the temp and raising the temp but nothing seems to work.

    Hello, i am hoping i can get some advice from someone/anyone! I'm attaching my test print for my 54'' roland sj 540. I've only had this printer for about 8 months. The previous owner used only roland inks and the test prints were just about perfect. I've since switched to using Triangle Inks...

Ever since, on occasion it'll print yellow bloches about 1 1/2 to 3 inches from the right side. It's not on every file or print but...

  13. Mutoh VJ1638 Headstrike Issue

    Hello! We recently (in the last 6-8 months) purchased a Mutoh ValueJet 1638 from a company that has never sold a printer like this. They specialize in more copiers etc. Anyhow, for installation they just brought it in, kind of leveled it with a construction level and left us. We have had issues...

  15. Suggestions on keeping file size managable?

    Hi. I am fairly new to the sign trade and wondered if any of more experienced members could offer suggestions on how to keep my file sizes down. I find when designing for a 54" printer, my files become so large they are bogging down my system (less than 6 month old computer). How large a file...
